The Hydraulic Module from Shenling is a highly integrated, factory-prefabricated hot & cold distribution unit (CDU) engineered specifically for modern data center liquid cooling systems. Combining variable-frequency pumps, plate heat exchangers, constant-pressure makeup water, and intelligent controls in a single skid, the Hydraulic Module ships ready for rapid on-site commissioning — drastically reducing field engineering, improving reliability, and helping operators meet aggressive PUE goals.
Rapid deployment: factory-assembled and pre-tested modules reduce on-site installation time and commissioning risk.
Lower engineering & labor cost: delivers plug-and-play hydraulic infrastructure so project teams avoid complex, error-prone field piping and valve installation.
Predictable performance: matched components and factory controls ensure the distribution system operates as intended from day one.
Hyperscale and enterprise data centers
AI / high-performance computing (HPC) clusters that require liquid cooling distribution
Telecom and edge data centers needing compact, reliable thermal distribution
Retrofit projects where minimizing on-site disruption is critical
Cooling capacity: 2000 – 6000 kW (model families configurable to project load requirements — per product specs).
Factory-prefabricated CDU: integrated pumps, plate heat exchangers, valves, expansion/buffer connections and controls for out-of-the-box operation.
BIM-optimized piping design to reduce system resistance and energy loss during operation (speeds design approval and installation).
Variable frequency pump sets for adaptive flow and energy savings.
Intelligent early-warning & remote monitoring system for rapid fault detection and reduced MTTR.
Flexible configuration supports N+1 redundancy and customizable redundancy schemes.
(Note: capacity ranges and feature list above reflect the product specification provided; Shenling’s data center product portfolio also includes liquid cooling CDUs and prefabricated chiller plants used to achieve low PUE and scalable deployments).

Describe the Hydraulic Module as a compact, factory-assembled hydraulic center that centralizes all distribution components into a single skid. Explain that factory testing and loop-level commissioning reduce site risk and speed installation.
Explain BIM-optimized piping reduces pressure drop across the distribution system, enabling smaller pump power and lower electrical consumption over lifetime. Show how variable frequency drives (VFDs) adjust flow to match IT load, improving part-load efficiency and PUE.
List features: sensors on flow/temperature/pressure, fault thresholds, local HMI and BMS connectivity (Modbus/ BACnet/OPC-UA), push alerts for maintenance teams, and remote diagnostics to shorten downtime.
Explain N+1 and other redundancy topologies: how parallel pump banks, bypass arrangements, and staged operation deliver continuous cooling during maintenance or component failure. Provide configuration examples (single module + standby pump; dual module separation for critical aisles).
Describe how BIM-ready models and shop drawings are provided — enabling clash detection and faster approval cycles. Factory assembly ensures welds, fasteners, and insulation meet QA before shipment.
Outline a step-by-step: (1) factory test, (2) shipment, (3) mechanical and control hook-ups on site, (4) commissioning. Emphasize spare parts, remote support, and service contracts to extend life and keep PUE low.
Cooling capacity (range): 2000–6000 kW (modular) — configurable per site.
Pump type: variable frequency centrifugal pumps, parallel staged operation.
Heat exchanger: brazed plate / gasketed plate exchanger options.
Control: PLC core + local HMI, remote BMS integration (Modbus/TCP, BACnet IP).
Redundancy: N+1 pump configuration (customizable).
Sensors: flow, differential pressure, inlet/outlet temp, conductivity (makeup water), level sensors for makeup tank.
Enclosure: skid mounted, sound-attenuated panel options, IP rating per site requirements.
BIM deliverables: Revit/IFC files, 2D shop drawings and pre-commissioning checklist.
Single-skid, factory-tested solution reduces site labor and schedule risk (use in bids to shorten project timelines).
Designed for modern liquid-cooled and hybrid cooling architectures where reliability and rapid scalability matter.
Localizable: engineered for global projects with site-specific options for climate, water quality, and redundancy needs.
Q1: What is a Hydraulic Module and how does it differ from a traditional CDU?
A1: A Hydraulic Module is a factory-prefabricated hot & cold distribution skid that integrates pumps, heat exchangers, valves and controls into a single unit. Unlike field-built systems, it arrives pre-tested and BIM-ready for faster installation and predictable performance.
Q2: What cooling capacity ranges are available?
A2: The Hydraulic Module family is configurable to cover roughly 2000–6000 kW of cooling capacity (model selection depends on project layout and redundancy requirements). For exact sizing, provide IT load, rack density and target redundancy.
Q3: How does the Hydraulic Module improve PUE and energy efficiency?
A3: Energy savings come from BIM-optimized hydraulics that minimize pressure drop, VFD pumps that modulate flow to actual demand, and intelligent control algorithms that optimize operation across part-load conditions.
Q4: Can the module be customized for N+1 redundancy or other topologies?
A4: Yes — the Hydraulic Module supports flexible redundancy schemes (N+1, 2N, staged pump banks) and can be tailored to project availability requirements.
Q5: What communications / BMS protocols are supported?
A5: Typical integrations include Modbus TCP/IP and BACnet IP; OPC-UA or other protocols are available on request for seamless BMS connectivity.
Q6: Is the product provided with BIM/3D files for design integration?
A6: Yes — Revit/IFC BIM files and 2D shop drawings are provided to support clash detection and accelerated approvals.
Q7: How long does on-site installation and commissioning take?
A7: Because the unit is factory-tested and pre-assembled, on-site mechanical and electrical hook-up plus commissioning is significantly shorter than field-built systems. Exact time depends on site scope; Shenling offers pre-commissioning checklists to estimate schedule.
Q8: What maintenance and service options are available?
A8: Shenling typically offers spare parts kits, remote diagnostics, preventative maintenance plans and local service support to maintain system availability and efficiency.
Q9: How does Shenling ensure quality and reliability?
A9: Factory assembly, QA testing, and standardized module families (plus field-proven components) reduce variability and ensure consistent operational reliability. Shenling’s data center portfolio emphasizes modular, tested solutions for enterprise deployments.
Q10: Who should I contact to get a quote or BIM model?
A10: Use Shenling Global sales contact channels or request a datasheet via the product inquiry form on the Shenling site.
